Mr. Gu, Your Replacement Bride Is A Big Shot!

“How was your conversation with your friend?”

Qiao Nian was slightly stunned, not understanding what Gu Zhou was saying.
In the next moment, she remembered that in order to go out, she had pretended that she was going out for afternoon tea with a friend.

Qiao Nian looked up at Gu Zhou and was about to speak when she saw his serious expression.

Was Gu Zhou trying to find out who she was with?

“It was fine.”

Gu Zhou’s dark eyes were fixed on Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian felt uncomfortable under Gu Zhou’s sharp gaze.
She had a nagging feeling that Gu Zhou already knew what she had been doing outside.

“I’ll go upstairs and rest first.” With that, Qiao Nian walked towards the stairs.

Qiao Nian had just taken two steps when Gu Zhou grabbed her hand.

A trace of confusion flashed in Qiao Nian’s eyes.
She turned to look at him.

Gu Zhou looked at Qiao Nian with a deep gaze.
He pursed his lips slightly and asked, “Don’t you want to ask me about something?”

Her heart jumped to her throat.

Why would he ask that?

Did he know what she had just gone out to do?

How was this possible?

He had been staying at home.

If Gu Zhou knew that she had used his and Gu Qi’s hair for a paternity test, he would definitely stop her from doing it since he wanted to deceive her.

Qiao Nian remembered Matriarch Gu saying that Gu Zhou hated it when others asked about his past.

Qiao Nian gave a faint smile and shook her head.
“No.”

Gu Zhou’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He hesitated for a moment before letting go of Qiao Nian’s hand.
His voice was low and lonely.
“Then rest well at home.”

“Okay,” Qiao Nian replied and walked upstairs.

Gu Zhou stood rooted to the ground with a dejected expression.
Looking at Qiao Nian’s gradually disappearing back, he sighed softly.

She probably wasn’t ready to discuss this topic with him yet.

She still needed time.

Actually, he needed time too.

He didn’t know how to explain this to Qiao Nian.
